Brown Rice

Brown rice is now one of my favorite dishes. After reading the nutritional benefits from the link below, I don't believe that I will cook white rice again.

The flavoring of the ingredients that I added with brown rice makes this recipe a keeper.




Read the link below and try my recipe. Let me know if you've tried better tasting brown rice.

Onion Choppers

We have a  saying here in the south: "The Next Best Thing To Blue Bell."  I didn't learn until my later years in cooking just how helpful food preparations tools were. As a matter of fact, I had used an onion chopper years ago until one of the blades broke. They are made very nice nowadays and are a must-have for your kitchen. The one that I'm currently using has been well worth the investment and has served me very well. I must say, by far that I have more kitchen gadgets than any of my friends or family members. From time to time I'll share some of the tools that I find helpful to me as well as the ones that I thought were essential at the time of purchase.

If you're interested in purchasing an onion chopper for your kitchen, I would appreciate it if you would purchase it via the link below.  I will receive a small referral fee.


Thanks for stopping by.  I would be delighted if you would share a handy kitchen tool that you use.
